    Aye - which speaks to the same point of it being commonplace. People are going to be less inclined to report stuff that they are subject to continuously than if said stuff were infrequent.

    Plus if you factor in (to some extent perceived?) institutional racism, people are going to be less inclined to report stuff if they feel the authorities are less inclined to care/take it seriously/take action.

And now we have to use it.

    Just as we see with sexual assault. If reporting is unlikely to lead to punishment for the perpetrator and is instead likely to cause you economic and emotional harm, then you will be less likely to report. But we must remember that Lewk operates in a twisted universe where it is a badge of honour to see conspiracies where there are none, while stubbornly ignoring those conspiracies that are there right in front of them. He's in bed with Pizzagaters and QAnon.
